![]() The functions just work.īoth have very customizable interfaces. I also like the interface better, for when I'm using it on the go on my tablet. While I like the brushes more in Painter, Clip is way more stable. I tried it awhile back when they were Manga Studio. Matter of fact they used to have a forum on the Corel site, but it was full of so many issues that people were having that they just shut the forum down. You also need to have a beefier computer to run it well.įor about 6 months now I have been using Clip. These and many more are problems that have plagued Painter since I first started using it in the 90's so it's pretty clear they don't know how to fix it. I have had the lasso tool stop working until you restart the program. It also crashes or freezes more often than other programs. Sometimes palettes will be off screen which is a pain. It also very buggy, for example right now I can not cut/copy or paste. ![]() However, Painter is also one of the most unstable art programs that I have ever used( tried most of the ones available). It has some really interesting brushes called particle brushes which make every stroke unique. It also has all of the tools I use in one package so I don't have to switch between programs. I have also tried almost all of the painting software out there at one point or another.Ĭorel painter has one of the best brush engines around(only 2nd to Rebelle). I have a more painterly style, just for reference. I switch to Photoshop for about 5 years then switched back to Painter and now Clip Studio. ![]() I've only had the briefest encounter with CSP so don't have anything to say about it.I'm just the person you are looking for. I'll be honest and say it annoys me, but they do work fine. It's when you get into things in dialog boxes that aren't updated yet. All the day-to-day regular use UI is totally modern. I've never felt the need to buy or download extras unlike in Photoshop where the out-of-the-box experience is meager.Ĭorel's been improving the UI for years. I will also say that it's worth more than $50 for someone looking to get an art store's worth of traditional medium feeling brushes. I'd say this is the single biggest disadvantage. I'll say I'm not a huge fan of Corel pricing and have only updated once in 3 years. This may or may not be a good thing for you, but it's probably why some people think it's too complicated. There are multiple brush engines in Corel Painter depending on the medium with different settings for each. It's just a matter of what the program is geared more towards. But don't take this to mean that you can't or shouldn't work with layers and blending modes in Painter like any other program. If you're the type that subscribes to the philosophy that achieving painterly looks in digital is about following closer to traditional techniques then Painter rewards that - especially with it's highest fidelity natural media simulations. If you're a person who needs to tweak every stroke endlessly then be aware that beyond layers and simple masking there's not a lot of support. This also means that Painter hasn't invested in non-destructive workflow features like adjustment layers found in something like PS. If you're into more of a painterly look then it's definitely worth considering. If you're doing more comics style and colouring then Painter probably doesn't have any advantage vs anything else.
